North Control, the final attack in the third quarter. No. 6 player Zhang Fan, Marbury's "Kobe", dribbled through the half.
From the half, Zhang Ning, the No. 8 player of the Shanxi team, gave Zhang Fan a very oppressive defense, like dog skin paste.
His positivity has brought very good defensive results.
Steal!
Then, there is the following scene: Zhang Ning spares no effort to get the ball, and before reaching the point, throw the ball out.
Without a hit, he lost his balance, fell to the floor, he lay down and rested for a few seconds, his teammates pulled him up...
This scene touched me very much, and last night, I played this video clip repeatedly. And this clip is the epitome of Zhang Ning's 2 CBA seasons.
He was too fierce.
If you're a head coach, you'll love this type of player.
When we praise players such as Caruso and Smart, don't forget that our own league also has such a number one person, and he also unreservedly dedicates everything to the field.
The enthusiasm and attitude he showed were really infectious.
Now Zhang Ning, every game is like playing chicken blood.
When desperate, it seems that everyone is quite "embarrassed".
However, cherishing every opportunity, Zhang Ning met a better self.
Qi Ji can't take ten steps when he jumps; he can't take ten steps; he can ride ten horses and give up his merits. Starlight does not live up to the passers-by, and time pays off.
Zhang Ning, who worked silently, finally waited for the moment of blossoming.
So far this season, he has averaged 29.2 minutes per game, with 14.8 points, 4 rebounds and 3.4 assists. He shot 58.8 percent from the field and shot 50 percent from three-point range.
His offensive efficiency ranks 12th in the CBA league.
The last time I wrote about him was on December 2 last year, and he was sent to the Development Alliance...
At the time, in the first phase of the game, he averaged 13.5 minutes per game, had 3.5 points and 1.9 rebounds, and shot only 18.2% from three-point range.
Even he couldn't help but complain dynamically:
"I feel like a stunned kid in my freshman year, I was very excited before playing, I was busy after playing, I would have one or two low-level mistakes in every game, and watching the video could make me laugh."
At that time, there was also such a clip: Shanxi played Fujian, Zhang Ning took the ball on the outside line, and such a voice came from the Fujian bench
"This no basket, this no basket!" All right! ”
Zhang Ning shot, and sure enough, he didn't hit...
In less than 1 year, you can clearly see that Zhang Ning has risen the ball. He was the 8th pick in last year's draft and would definitely be in the top three if rearranged now.
However, Heaven gave him a lower starting point than others, that is, to write a story of Jedi Strikes Back.
Once the red clouds rise up, it is a hundred flowers blooming.
Work silently in places where no one cares, and appear in places of great attention.
When he played poorly, there was a lot of scolding on the Internet, because Zhang Ning had long been labeled as a "variety player".
But in fact, in variety shows, the performance of players is edited, and watching live broadcasts is the most real.
Therefore, at that time, Di Ge wrote very sensibly in the tweet: "Zhang Ning is not so good, not so bad, what he needs to improve most is stability." In particular, the stability of empty shooting and the ability to have no ball must be improved. ”
(You can check back this tweet: "Zhang Ningfa dynamically spit on himself!") Play like a stunned kid! Can he still play it? 》）
And Zhang Ning, he did.
Behind the 3-point shooting rate from 18% to 50%, it must be exchanged for every drop of sweat on the training ground.
Offseason, how much money you save, and by the time you get to the league, you have more money to spend...
Objectively speaking, Zhang Ning can have today's performance because of certain objective factors.
For example, the team changed the head coach, and the championship coach Yang Xuezeng trusted him even more. In addition, the arrival of Field, he is willing to give Zhang Ning a score and so on...
However, I am still more willing to sing the praises of Zhang Ning's own efforts.
Because only by doing yourself well can you firmly grasp it in your own hands when the opportunity comes. We may only see Zhang Ning, the scenery is infinite, but we can't see his tempering and efforts in dark days.
In the world of competitive sports, we've probably seen a lot of sudden explosions.
But in fact, it is all thick and thin.
"There are many peaks and valleys in life, do not lose yourself in good times, do not forget your original intention, stand the test in adversity, and have the courage to challenge." The tireless pursuit is the wealth of my life..."
This sentence said by Liu Xiang at the 15-year retirement ceremony is also very applicable to Zhang Ning.
There are still many places where he still needs to improve, such as defensive experience and judgment, defense without the ball, or some differences...
Hope is like he wrote on his personal social media:
Guard against arrogance and impatience.
